PBC trying to get their own set of belts sanctioned, good or bad idea?

No. No more belts. We already have 4 recognized legitimate championship titles, and that's too many.

I like the idea because it will eliminate confusion for the new boxing audience.

Andy Lee, Antonio DeMarco, James DeGale and Ricky Burns aren't PBC fighters.

The recognized PBC champion doesn't have to sign with Haymon.

Puh-lese man. Andy Lee was brought on bc he was already champ and Haymon tried to get his guy the belt back. Degale was the same thing bc Haymon's guy was mandatory for a belt (he'll never be back). And DeMarco and Burns were brought in to be beat by Haymon guys. I'll give you that we may on occasion get an upset and a non-Haymon guy will win the PBC belt. But if this belt meant anything in boxing they will only hold it until he fights and loses to another Haymon guy. And it would only be an upset situation, a favorite like Terence Crawford will not be on the network to win a belt from Broner and then go defend it as he pleases for another promoter.

No. Try explaining belts and championships to someone who first watches boxing 2 weeks ago.

PBC is a boxing league like MLB, NFL, NBA, MLS, NHL, UFC, etc. In order to achieve that they need to create a system to recognize championships.

But it's still under the sport of boxing so how is adding more belts to an already saturated sport going to be less confusing?

I look at it different. Boxing needs to be fixed. I could care less who does it and how. In order to get fixed, it may have to get worse for 3-4 years. But if the end result is 1 champion per division, I'm happy.

1 belt eliminates ducking

I haven't seen that yet. PBC exists to revive boxing in the US. Get it back on US network TV, fill up US venues.

This isn't for once in a decade stars like Cotto, Canelo, Pac and Floyd. This is for guys like Thurman, Porter, Garcia, etc. who are decent fighters that are having a difficult time filling venues and becoming mainstream.
